The Deadbeat Honeymooners were formed in Winnipeg in the early 1990s, consisting of Chris Burke Gaffney, Terry Norman Taylor, Blair DePape, and Barry G. Player. The band released only one album in 1992 on Rush’s Anthem Records. Radio favorites were Hard To Be Humble, and Dial L.O.V.E (which a video was made for). The band toured on a cross Canada Music Festival with Brian Adams, Steve Miller Band, Sass Jordan, and Extreme, as well as opened for Robin Trower and Kim Mitchell. In 1993 they were the support act for Guns N Roses at the Winnipeg Arena.
